Fiesta Friday #455

Whenever our family feels like celebrating we somehow always end up in a Korean restaurant.

A Korean BBQ meal seems so special… think tabletop cooking… with lots and lots of side dishes, also known as banchan in Korean. I can make a meal out of the banchan alone!

And that’s exactly what I did recently for a family dinner at home.


Korean Vegetarian Pajeon with banchan | FiestaFriday.net

Both of our favorite Korean restaurants have been permanently closed, courtesy of the pandemic. Now if we want to go for a Korean BBQ meal, we have to either trek a treacherous 45-minute route to a corner of Philadelphia or settle for a less-than-stellar restaurant 20 minutes away in a neighboring town.

This is a completely untenable situation. I really need to up my Korean-food cooking skill. So far, I think I got banchan figured out. Next… barbecued kalbi! If I can master it, my family’s future celebrations will be in good shape.

Now, take a look at these:

Jumbo Banana Carrot Muffins

Crab Rangoon grilled Cheese

Nana’s Crab Cake Sliders with Dill Dressing

Roasted Red Pepper Pesto

    Hi, Angie! My family also loves Korean food, I even grow perilla and garlic chives just to be able to make rice wraps and pancakes; your pancakes look amazing! Thank you for hosting another great Fiesta Friday, I am sharing #1 Nova Scotia Style Oatcakes. Have an awesome weekend!

      Omigosh, I was given a small pot of garlic chives by a friend a long time ago and now I have hundreds if not thousands! They spread like crazy, right?! Same story with the perilla. But they’re useful in the kitchen and taste pretty good, so I let them be for now. Nova Scotia Style Oatcakes are new to me, can’t wait to find out!

    Thanks for hosting a great party. I’m working on getting things done with one hand from recent wrist surgery – so everything is slow going.

    Angie, I love the idea of tabletop cooking, but I only want to arrive when the food is ready. ? I hate waiting when I am hungry, or maybe waiting is fine as long as I am with chatty friends.. but still, I won’t cook. ?

    Happy (late) Fiesta Friday!! Work has been taking a lot of my time. I need (I think we all do) a looooong and relaxing vacation! ?

      You’re so right, Jhuls… we all deserve a long break and vacation. Heck, I’ll take a staycation even ? I don’t need to go anywhere, seriously. I just want to rest and relax. Right?! Anyway, thanks so much for cohosting. I hope you enjoyed yourself. XO
